Nancy asks…
what shall i say to her, so i don’t get into trouble!?
basically i am in Rangers (after Guides) and in December on St Nicholas Day, our town always has a St.Nicholas Market. we, as Rangers, decided to apply to run a stall to sell crafts.
i was in charge of running the stall, as our leader was unable to come (im 18) so i took letters and things with me so that i knew all of the details of where abouts the stall is supposed to be.
after the market i took everything home and somehow i have misplaced the information which contains details of where donations are sent to (when we raise money at the market, a percentage of the money is donated to the St Nicholas Market association and they donate to different clubs, societies and charities)
i dont know what to say to my Ranger leader when she somes to pick it up tomorrow, as i have looked and its certainly not in the house.
i don’t want to get into trouble and she does tend to get annoyed at things like this, surely she’s only got to ring up the same phone number as she did to apply to have a stall – i can’t find the number on the internet so i cant do it.
what shall i say to her?

Larry McCann answers:
You need to tell her the truth tell her what you have told us and how you have misplaced it. I’m sure she wouldnt mind and she probly has some ideas of where there going to. She should be grateful that you told her the truth and helped with the store.
Good Luck

How Do I Report This Scam?
Association Of European Charity Foundations
Dear Sir,Madam
NOTIFICATION FOR CASH AID.
This is to notify you that you have been chosen By the Board of
trustees of the above International charity organization
branched in the Netherlands as one of the final recipients of a Cash
Grant/Donation for your own personal, education and
business development.
The international registered Foundation is named after over 5 top
company owners put together. The charitable foundation was
reported by the business newspaper, the Economist between the year
2000-2007 to be technically one of the world’s wealthiest
charity foundation- worth billions of US$ – but its primary purpose is,
by some, believed to be BRINGING INNOVATIONS IN
HEALTH AND LEARNING TO THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY. George Soros is chairman
of the foundation. Having been rated as the founder and
chairman of a network of foundations,the foundation has decided to
randomly select email addresses that would benefit from
this year’s donation/award
Based on the random selection exercise of internet service
providers(ISP) and millions of Super market cash invoices
worldwide, you were selected among the lucky recipients to receive the
award sum of US$2,000,000.00 (Two Million United
States Dollars) as charity donations/aid from the Association Of
European Charity Foundations and the UNO in accordance with
the enabling act of Parliament. Note that, your email was selected from
either the internet, or a Shop’s cash invoice around
your area in which you might have purchased something from.
You are required to expeditiously Contact the Executive Secretary below
for qualification documentation and processing of
your claims, from Monday through Sunday.
On contact with this officer, you’ll be given your donation pin number
which you will use in collecting the funds.
Please endeavor to quote your Qualification numbers (N-222-6747,
E-900-56) in all discussions.

his/her donation.

James asks…
Is anyone here a member of The Standardbred and Trotting Horse Association or own a Standardbred?
A friend of mine at my yard has bought a horse from a market as a future horse for his son but, the horse is too big for the son, and too small for the father. There’s a chance I’ll be the one riding it. I’ve searched his name on the internet and he could be a standard bred/trotting horse. I’d really like it if someone could look him up for me please?
Also; anyone who owns a standardbred, any tips or things I should expect?
Thank you in advance!
Well, by searching his name I found a previous advert for him.
“Standard Bred Trotting Assoc.GB00Y707″
I should mention, I’m in the UK.

Larry McCann answers:
NZ gave you some good info. An important thing to work on is collection. That will help a lot when you begin to ask for a canter or other gaits. (Generally both trotters and pacers can be taught to rack).
More information on retraining a STB is at http://horseadoption.com/training-tips/
Do you have the freeze brand or tattoo of the horse? Most Standardbreds have a lip tattoo if they are older or are freeze branded. Once you find that number you can look it up on http://pathway.ustrotting.com/search/index.cfm and get more info on your horse. It is possible that a pure Standardbred isn’t freeze branded or tattooed if he was never intended for the track.
EDIT: Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the UK Standardbred Org. Is as helpful as the US one. It looks like you can get information on your horse at http://www.standardbred.org/amember/ but they require a £10 membership. The US one will at least give you basic information for free of course they charge for anything above basic info ![]()
I checked w/ the US trotting site on the off chance he ever raced in the US and it doesn’t appear he has.
Http://www.bhrc.org.uk/links.php might also be a good place to start. Without going into the google cache the bhrc only has the current year so you can’t pull up the past when he was racing. You might be able to email them for more information though.
I didn’t find much online, but I was able to pull this out of the google cache:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:nXh6qiv1O4cJ:www.bhrc.org.uk/horse_perfs.php%3Fletter%3DS%25+%22SPRING-CRUISER%22+standardbred+UK&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a
One thing I did find looking through the old site via the google cache
is this info. It isn’t a lot, but it might help:
Horse: Spring Cruiser Grade: 0Past Races:
Chip No: 985120019522370Best Time: 99 M 99.99s
YOB: 2000 Colour: DB Sex: Last Race Date: 01/01/1970 Prize Totals: 0
Sire: crabby yankee (usa)Dam: spring taurus
Owner: Mr Robert S VaughanTrainer: Mr Robert S Vaughan
Entry 1. Spring Cruiser – NOT QUALIFIED
Entry 1. Spring Cruiser – NO RACE FEE
So it sounds like the horse never raced (race date before he’s born and the best time doesn’t make sense).
Since Crabby Yankee is a US horse I was able to find some information on him.
CRABBY YANKEE (G04817,H) [ 1988 , P , 3 , 1:52.4M $122,165]
COLT FORTYSIX – MY OWN YANKEE – NERO
It looks like he raced from 1990-1995 about 20 starts each year.

Reference Available Upon Request

Larry McCann answers:
As a hiring expert, I recommend you take out your bottom two jobs as they were pretty short and you want to look like you’ve had stable jobs. The first three are fine. And a few more job descriptions. 3 may be too short. Have 4-6 job descriptions.
You should rename your activities section as “Other Experience” and name your regular experience section as “Professional Experience”. Take out “References Available Upon Request” because you should already have your references on hand when meeting an employer.
All of my advice is very detailed on my website so find more tips here: http://www.hireme101.com/resumetips.html. I also only charge $7 to edit resumes, so my services could be useful for you.
Good luck

Donald asks…
Madame HRH, The car giveaways, spree shopping, internet lotteries etc that Herman was involved with continue.?
These have had a tremendously negative market aspect. I had requested that VI/ BVI authorities look into this in January of 2007 when I first established it was going on to ascertain where these large deliveries of autos was coming from. Furthermore, I have learned that Mr. Lloyd has obtained an international passport through Anguilla. Mr. Lloyd, who cannot legally participate in the election process in the continental US has told me that he has bought California, which I am very susceptible to believing. He says he has established a majority proxy voting block and apparently whatever is happening in the CDS swap market is partially controlled by his hedge and others like him. I believe that the significant component is that these are non-visble hedges. Where unlike having a known business and a hedge fund manager of record, these are played in family groups, social clubs, loose associations etc. President Rajapaksa can provide you with the name of the inspector I was working with in the BVI, my hopes are that through that information due diligence has been conducted to the events surrounding the 2007 Rolex Regatta. He knows the unbelievable levels of harrasment faced by Mr. Lloyd and my dire concern. Lately Mr. Lloyd has been speaking of the connections between my family and his own (of which, truly there should be none.) Please consult and advise Raja, as these events are convoluted and and of such a sensitive nature. The cycle has begun again instead of yearly now its bi-annually. I believe that Mr. Lloyd needs to be detained as does his sister and financial advisor. I have stated previously that Mr. Lloyd had originally found out that his family trust was being manipulated, for very short periods of time in a daytrading type of forum. I am seeing the resulting indoctrination even in the house I am living in now with a roomate turning up suddenly with vehicle he can ill afford. I have contacted Ambassador Wickremesuriya’s hand phone again today. My address/telephone details are with him as well as his with his assistant. I am requesting meeting with the same UN work group including Secretary Ban in the frame between the religious tolerance symposium and the economic crisis symposium. I would be grateful for your assistance in coordinating such. On a domestic note, when I heard about the bankruptcyb at Spode, my thoughts immediately went to the rail system that I know has a junction in that area. I do not believe that this is a preamble of an imminent nature such as the nazi/IED matter but definitely one to monitor in the 6 month to 1 year term when discord will be at a high from job loss/housing shifts in this traditional artisan community. By the way fuel effecient/green cars were Herman’s hallmark. The large trucks as I am seeing in my drive were Cabre.
